Chapter 4 : The Greatest Inventor & The Holy Maiden
[Forms] [+]
Reina (Currently Used)
EXP : 3,508
I managed to find a building with no people in the vicinity.
How did I know? It's because somehow I can tell if there are people near me or not...
Anyway, I need more power. I can use fire but it would be good to also use some other powers. I think the names in the list have their respective powers.
I really hope that there is a use manual or even a hint for my powers so I can choose easily.
Well then, I should pick someone.
Let's see... I pick the (See More..) and then the panel changes.
A lot of names were added on the list. Those that were added are this.
Fina (50 EXP)
Aletta (100 EXP)
Sarutobi Shinobu (500 EXP)
Kanzaki Keine (1,000 EXP)
Ohoshi Ringo (1,000 EXP)
Ichijo Aoi (1,500 EXP)
Emilia (1,500 EXP)
Maria von Messina (1,500 EXP)

Raphtalia (2,500 EXP)
Filo (3,000 EXP)

Mio (50,000,000 EXP)
Satella (200,000,000 EXP)
(See More...)
So that was all the new list I saw that was included on the first ones.
... Yeah, I still don't understand whoever are these people.
But because they are now part of my power, I don't need to feel like I was doing something bad. Maybe if I found out that I am really hijacking their body or something, I might stop using my powers. Though I won't know how because I can't seem to get back to my original one.
Anyway, I'll pick whoever. I don't even know who are these people anyway so even if I was given a list, I won't have a clue how to choose at all.
So I pick up someone called Sicily. I don't know, I felt her name sounds fancy. And because I still have some leftover so I just randomly pick someone on the 1,000 EXP scale.
[Acquiring your Second Form] +100 EXP
[Acquiring your Third Form] +150 EXP
Now I was down to 8 EXP... nevermind, I have 258 EXP.
Anyway, where are my new forms?
I look around the floating panel and after poking for awhile, I finally found them.
The names Ohoshi Ringo and Sicily von Claude are below Reina's name.
Now then, I should look what does this forms do.
So how to use it?
I tried thinking about becoming one of them.
Make me Sicily! Is what I am thinking right now...
[First Time Changing Forms] +200 EXP
... I think nothing really happens... wait...
I felt a weird weight in body. Or specifically in my chest. It's a feeling that I didn't feel when I wad in Rena's body and on my original body.
I look at down and saw that I have breasts. Not the flat that I was used to but a really big breasts!
... Wait, did I become what I am thinking about?
I quickly tried thinking about the floating panel to appear in my sight.
[Forms] [+]
Sicily von Claude (Currently Used)
Reina
Ohoshi Ringo
EXP : 458
So I really become whoever is this Sicily huh...
What can she do I wonder? Hmm, I think I am feeling another type of force inside my body...
I don't know why. I felt that it was different than what I was using when I am Reina. It's not the magic I know when I was Reina, but I still felt it was an energy I needed to use magic.
... I wonder why I kept thinking about my powers as magic, even though magic is not real.
Anyway, I first tried thinking of using my magic.
And like something very natural to me, I manage to create a small flame in my hand. This one is not just the normal fire, it's a blue flame.
This fire is different. Instead of just willing this fire to appear, I thought of how the fire resulted into being before making it appear in my hand.
And it felt like I am doing it for ages when I did that.
Hmm... is this how my powers work? Do I always need to imagine it first before releasing it?
Well anyway, it seems like Sicily's power was nearly identical to Reina. I wonder why she was more expensive than Reina...
Anyway, I should find out how I look when I pick my third form.
So with that in mind, I imagined becoming Ohoshi Ringo.
The feeling of weight in my chest is gone. In exchange, I now have a lot of ideas in my head. Knowledges that was so advanced than what I know.
I look down at myself and now saw that I was wearing some sort overalls. I can understand how all of my clothes were made when I look at it.
I noticed that I was much shorter than when I am Reina. So is this Ringo person a young child, or is she just this short?
Wait, I should think more about this.
So Reina and Sicily can use magic, or whatever stuff they can do that I thought was magic. This Ringo though was a genius!
I think she doesn't have any power. My mind also strongly rejects that notion, thinking how it was impossible to just bend physics in that way.
I think Sicily is not a good one. I felt that she was just an improved version of Reina. I need to see more for myself before I can judge if she was just the stronger version or not. Ringo was a good buy though.
Well, she only have the knowledge about modern science but it was so advanced to the former me so I need to see what I can make. I'll just think if it was worth it after I saw what I can make as Ringo Ohoshi.
I might be able to create Tinkertech! Or maybe something comparable...
Surprisingly, it seems like my sleepiness vanishes when I changed forms. It's like I resetted.
Because I am not feeling sleepy at all, I should look for something I can do!
[Exploiting the System] +1,000 EXP
[Thinking Outside The Box] +100 EXP
So it took me until morning experimenting with my powers. And I found out something very useful at it.
So changing forms not only reset my hunger, it also resets my fatigue and injuries. I tried wounding myself and then changed back into Reina. Then I turn back into Ringo and saw that the wound is gone. So with this, I can essentially live without eating or sleeping at all.
I also found out about some powers of my forms. So Sicily is not just an upgrade of Reina, she was more.
I tried thinking deeply what I can do while I was in her form and let instinct just guide me. Or in short, I just think of using my powers and let whatever naturalness I felt on using my powers.
The result is learning about the most useful ability ever. I can open some sort of alternate dimension and use it to store my things!
To make sure that it will stay inside that alternate dimension, I first put some rocks in it and then changed into Reina. Then I changed back into Sicily before opening that alternate dimension and then taking the rocks that I put in there. To make sure that the items is what I really have and not just some alternate copy, I used water magic and carved my name on a flat rock before putting it inside the alternate dimension. A switch and then turning back into Sicily, I opened my alternate dimension and then took the flat rock and saw that the carving I put there is still in there.
Along with these discoveries I also learned something that was inconvenient. These are some sort of limitation or something.
Whatever I can do as Sicily, I can't do it as Reina. When I tried doing the blue flames that Sicily can do, it seems like as Reina I can't really do it. Even though I know the basic principle, it seems like when I was Reina, I was becoming befuddled at it.
This also applies to my knowledge when I was Ringo. When I use another form, I will still remember the knowledge I look insidw Ringo but I will be quickly confused about it. It's a lot of scientific jargons that I can't understand when I was on my other forms. Only when I was Ringo can I make sense to all of those knowledge.
So it seems like I am limited to what I can do when I was in that form.
Well, even with that inconvenience, each capabilities of my forms are powerful enough to defeat some gangs.
Or that's what I want to believe.
Anyway, I think I'll look for other forms next time. I need to go out and look if something is happening on the DWU.
I did just decided yesterday that I will protect them to the gangs.
So with that as my plan, I took the form of Ringo before going out of this building.
While I was going to the DWU, I met with a lot of ABB members. It was obvious because of the colors they wore.
I think they are looking at me. Though they generally ignored me, likely because I was in a different body.
There are some ABB members I encountered who are talking to each other. They are somewhat smart because they are talking in their own languages.
But it seems like I was very knowledgeable about the Japanese language because I can understand those who are talking in Japanese.
I just heard some of it while I am avoiding them. It seems like they are looking for a girl wearing a black dress, carrying a wooden staff, and have a red hair tied in a yellow ribbon.
Basically, me as Reina.
Sometimes, I felt some of them are glancing at me but they quickly ignored me after that.
I don't know why but I got an urge to get out of here and find somewhere I can hide. I wonder why?
Finally, I got to the vicinity of the DWU.
Hmm... how will I protect this place to the gangs?
Ugh... I didn't think this through!
Should I just find a vantage point somewhere and camp in there? Maybe go around this place by walking?
I think they won't let me inside. I look like a child right now.
What should I do?
While thinking like that, I heard some glass breaking.
When I heard that, I was already running to that direction.
... Weird, I am easily tired now...
Is Ringo weak? Well I think she might be...
I finally arrived while feeling tired at my run and take a peek on what is happening inside.
I saw some ABB members attacking some people on the Docks with beer bottles and some of them even have knives. They are yelling angrily at them as they attacked the guys at the DWU.
It seems like those working at the DWU are also fighting back. They are wielding crowbars and two by fours and swinging it back on those guys. They are also shouting in anger while they are doing that.
Based on the bits I can understand on their yelling, these guys refused these ABB members to get inside. These ABB members got irritated and they attack these guys.
This might yet be another pressuring strategy for the gangs. I remembered Kurt saying that everyday, one or two gangs always come at this place just to do whatever.
While it was fortunate that no villains are among to those who are attacking this place, it was just a moment of time before they did.
I need to save them!
I can't use Ringo's form to fight them. It seems like she was physically weak. Reina have more stamina than Ringo.
Should I use Reina? But I think they might recognize and their Cape might involved themselves when I beat them up...
... But well, they knew who I am as Reina anyway so let's just use her.
I don't want to use the other two forms. I want to hide it for now. It will be good to surprised my enemies if they don't know what I am capable of.
With that in mind, I find somewhere to changed my form. I can't just let someone see me changing.
I think I also need a mask for myself. I know that it would be ineffective as a disguise because of how I look but I still need to find something.
If I truly want to hide my whole identity, I need a full costume!
While thinking that, I found somewhere where I can change. I look around and triple checked if there is someone and when I am sure that no one is on my vicinity, I finally changed into Reina.
Ringo doesn't have any sharp senses. Unlike Reina who somehow can sense if there are people nearby. That's why I needed to triple check my surroundings just to be sure.
Anyway, I am now Reina.
They know me anyway so I'll just attack them without bothering for a mask. Still, I need to find a mask for myself after this.
I walk back towards the entrance to the Union, where the ABB and the Union guys are having a melee.
**End of Chapter 4**

A/N
So I decided to end it at that part.
As for the questions. First of all, I don't know much about Myne from Ascendance of a Bookworm. I am still at the Chapter 77 on the Web Novel. And the Anime was already beyond it.
About Lung, I think he won't like it that some new Cape who is lurking on his territory to be left untouched. I just forgot to write in this story but even if Oni Lee was called, he was only there to make sure that nothing bad happens. And no, he is not planning to kill her. He just wants to harm her so she will fear him.
Of course I still have a faulty knowledge about Worm so I might be just wrong. Just think of it as an AU thing (Because I will be always wrong no matter what I did)
Now about the two new characters. If you are curious, I'll tell you who are they.
Sicily von Claude/Sicily Wolford is the fiancee of Shin Wolford, the Protagonist of the story called Magi's Grandson (Alt : Kenja no Mago/賢者の孫). Ohoshi Ringo is one of the seven super prodigy on Earth, who was transported in another world along with his friends in the story High School Prodigies Have It Easy Even In Another World (Alt : Choujin Koukousei-tachi wa Isekai demo Yoyuu de Ikinuku you desu!/超人高校生たちは異世界でも余裕で生き抜くようです！) or CHOYOYU in short.
I hope you have fun in my story!
